I have no idea how I randomly was directed to your blog, but I am also the girl who cries fat! I will complain about it all day and say I need to lose it, but...chips and cookies and cake. I live in Pittsburgh, so I am all about the East Coast/West Coast challenge!

I'm sitting on an airplane about to take off and I had to apologize to the woman sitting next to me 3 times already bc I'm fidgeting and can't get comfortable bc I'm too fat. I love that the blog post day is here and we can start kicking ass! Brandi, fellow Pittsburgher, I am calling dibs on you for team West coast Tupac fat busters. Jonesy, it's so on and I couldn't be happier.

I feel the same way! Each time you write about struggles with food and weight it totally hits home with me. Recently my doctor told me I had to go on a specific diet (it's basically Atkins) and it sucks big time. I've been scouring the world for some support, so I'm excited to see what your challenge with Allie is. I'd love to take part and create a safe, fun and encouraging little community for us all. Support makes the weight lose journey so much more successful!

There is a book called Four Hour Body by Tim Ferriss. I love the book. I might have become a little Ferriss obsessed... I would highly recommend. I now weigh what I did in college despite living in a house with two kids and their various delicious food and a sweets obsessed husband. You and Doug so got this!

Amen to Brigid's comment,"Came for The Bachelorette, stayed for the honesty." I do the same damn thing. Food is just SO GOOD. I keep hoping I have whatever that light bulb moment it is that some people get--here's hoping that you're having yours right now!

I'm trying to get motivated to lose some weight too! Joined the gym at work to take some exercise classes with friends, and hope to start amending my diet! Good luck in your east coast/west coast bullying!

I'll let you in on a little not-so-secret - even active people don't love working out while they're doing it. I'm a runner, and I feel like crap during the actual run - breathing hard, sweating, heart racing, legs burning. It's the post-workout endorphin high that keeps us coming back. And people who say they enjoy P90X are just flat out liars.
